ISBN 0394493036 "Once again, George MacDonald Fraser turns from the gloriously scandalous Flashman sagas to chronicle the hilarious postwar adventures of a certain very Scottish Highland Regiment, which first swung into view in 'The General Danced at Dawn' and is the home of the shambling Tartan Caliban, Private McAuslan, the Dirtiest Soldier in the World, and his sorely tried commander, Lieutenant Dand MacNeil. Here are further ast o n i s h i n g episodes as McAuslan and MacNeill - Scottish Piltdown Man versus that flower of regimental dash and cunning - are pitted against each other in: The Desert Mystery of Port Yarhuna; The Great Regimental Quiz; McAuslan in Love; And His F in es t (a nd F un niest) Hour....as caddy to that rugged Caledonian Eminence, The Regimental Sergeant Major, in a golf game whose ferocity and intrigue make the Open Championship at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews pale into obliv ion . A H ig hla nd Fli ng of a book, bursting with joyous recollection; a toast to absent friends and to a world gone by."
